When I was translating, I guess I typed something on my keyboard which turned on this function of having a dot between each translated English word. This dot is not like the dot (.) of a period. It's more like a floating period in the center like (-) only except it's a dot.

This dot does not get reflected in the target file, but it is just annoying to see this dot everytime you hit SPACE.

I did a quick search, and nothing came up, so if you could please help me, that would be great.

Thanks!

Why annoying? This is a very useful function that allows you for example to spot unintended double spaces or distinguish between a normal and a nonbreakable space. I am sure that a lot of people would be very unhappy if it did not exist.

If you want to see the text as it looks printed, simply temporarily switch the function off. It's just one click on the toolbar.

Hi Walter!

I didn't meant to offend anybody who uses this function.I just meant to say for my immediate need, it was counter productive.

But I am sure one day I might need this function myself, so cheers to Trados.I was just frustrated in the beginning as I did not know how to turn this function off.

Thanks Walter.
